Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation and use of estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 (the Annual Report on Form 10-K) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 28, 2022 and amended on June 5, 2023. The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis consistent with that used to prepare the audited annual consolidated financial statements and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2022 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year ending September 30, 2023 or any interim period.

The presentation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and non-current portion of restricted cash reported within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:


(in thousands)	June 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	307,459	$	378,687
Restricted cash, non-current	4,379		1,572
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	311,838	$	380,259

Restricted cash represents cash held at financial institutions that are pledged as collateral for stand-by letters of credit for lease commitments and is included in non-current assets.

Significant accounting policies

There have been no material changes in the accounting policies from those disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenue

The Company had contract assets of $3.9 million and contract liabilities of $3.0 million as of June 30, 2023. The Company had contract assets of $3.4 million and contract liabilities of $3.5 million as of September 30, 2022. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $0.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, from the amount that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 the Company's revenue from the amount that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period was not material. In addition, for all periods presented, there was no revenue recognized in a reporting period from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of June 30, 2023 was $5.5 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue over the next twelve months relating to performance obligations unsatisfied as of June 30, 2023.

Based on the nature of our contracts with customers, which are recognized over a term of less than 12 months, we have elected to use the practical expedient whereby costs to obtain a contract are expensed as they are incurred.

We state our revenues net of any taxes collected from customers that are required to be remitted to various government agencies. The amount of taxes collected from customers and payable to governmental entities is included on the balance sheet as part of “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities.”

Recent accounting pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company considered the applicability and impact of all recent ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be not applicable to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Recent accounting pronouncements adopted

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. The amendments in this update require the annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model. The Company adopted this standard effective October 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU-2021-10 did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2023.

Recently issued accounting pronouncement not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard requires entities to use the new “expected credit loss” impairment model for most financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The standard is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early application is permitted. The standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
